Geez Ed,

What a stupid question -- just kidding. It's not stupid at all in fact
as the new Notetab makes it a bit confusing.

On a recent update (maybe a year or two ago) to 5.x it was decided that
most machines need to save such things to a user directory. This is
because many people don't have permissions in the programs directory
where all such things were once stored.

I believe you will find them in something like this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\NoteTab Pro\Libraries

What makes it a tad confusing is that there is also a directory called
libraries here:
C:\Program Files\NoteTab Pro\Libraries

The latter will contain a whole bunch of standard libraries, but not
YOUR libraries in most people's setup.

That's one of the reasons why I don't use eXPerimental and stick to
Win98SE. But a general hint that applies to all other similar
problems as well:
.clb is not a common extension. So the quickest and easiest thing to
do is use Windows' find (a nice tool, before coming to Windows I had
written essentially the same thing myself for use on my Atari) and
do a global search over all partitons.
If you use Totalcommander you can easily look into all those files
to check at one keystrroke, as ever with native Windows this gets
alittle more involved.
